Description

President Biden’s recent cannabis proclamations mark the most significant shift in federal marijuana policy in decades. Still, the move to wipe out all federal possession convictions is mostly symbolic, as the drug is most aggressively policed at the state level. Law360’s senior cannabis reporter Sam Reisman joins the show to break down what Biden’s moves will mean for the industry, and where legalization advocates are taking the fight next. Also this week, an update in the Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation saga, a former BigLaw partner stands trial for cyberbullying his colleagues, and a former staffer for the Los Angeles Angels gets over 20 years in prison for his role in the death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs.
